Today, the Thailand Open Badminton Championships will be held in 1/8 finals. The first round of the first round was full of upsets, with the men's singles top seed Antonsen, the fifth seed Prannoy, and the seventh seed Luo Jianyou all being eliminated from the tournament and suffering a round of tours, which was really surprising! Mixed Doubles No. 3 seeds Wu Xunval/Lai Minjie also stopped early in the first round. There are also upsets today, unlike yesterday, today's upsets appeared in the women's singles field, this surprise was brought to us by the national feather Gao Fangjie, Gao Fangjie defeated the No. 4 seed host Intanon 2-1, which was indeed a surprise. Guoyu won 4 wins and 1 loss in 5 singles today, including 1 win and 1 loss in men's singles, Zhao Junpeng lost to Wu Jialang 0-2, Lu Guangzu reversed Watanabe Hanggui 2-1, and the three golden flowers in women's singles played a triumphant song and advanced evenly.
1. Zhao Junpeng 0-2 Wu Jialong 19-21, 15-21
This Zhao Gongzi's game will always make people worry. The two sides have played each other a total of 3 times before, and Zhao Junpeng has not won a game. thought that this was a good opportunity for Zhao Junpeng, but he still failed to defeat the other party. Ng Ka Long defeated top seed Antonsen 2-1 yesterday to cause the biggest upset of the tournament. Obviously he continued his good form today from yesterday. The start was relatively smooth, the two scored more tightly, and there were contacts, but in the handling of key points, Zhao Junpeng was obviously not as experienced as Wu Jialang. Ng Ka Long seized the opportunity and took the lead 21-19. In the second game, Zhao Junpeng was obviously affected by the backwardness, a little frightened, more and more anxious, and the mistakes began to increase, and he lost 15-21 again. The big score was 0-2 and he lost to the opponent and stopped in the second round.
2. Lu Guangzu 2-1 Watanabe 21-11, 18-21, 21-19
Lu Guangzu is always so reassuring at critical moments. This game with Hangki Watanabe can be said to be won with spirit. The two sides are evenly ranked, with Lu Guangzu ranked 19th in the world and Watanabe ranked 21st in the world, and the two sides have met once before, when Lu Guangzu won. This time, Lu Guangzu still didn't give the opponent a chance, although he didn't press the opponent to the ground and rub it, but the big score behind but the reversal to win would make the opponent unable to let go for a long time. In the first game, Lu Guangzu took the lead early, and Watanabe couldn't catch up, so he had no choice but to admit defeat. Lu Guangzu won 21-11. In the second game, Watanabe adjusted his state and began to exert his power, catching Lu Guangzu off guard and pulling back a game 21-18. In the deciding game, Watanabe continued the good momentum of the previous game, establishing a lead at the beginning and tightly pressing Lu Guangzu. The score once led 18-12, and when everyone thought that Watanabe would win the game, Lu Guangzu began to show his might, and finally won the third game 21-19, magical! Lu Guangzu made a miraculous reversal and advanced to the quarterfinals. I can't imagine that Azu can turn the tables.
3. Gao Fangjie 2-1 Intanon 21-18, 19-21, 21-14
Gao Fangjie did not have stage fright in the face of the No. 4 seed, but took the lead and played well, although there was a gap in the strength of the two people, but on the scene, Gao Fangjie controlled the situation in the first game, and took the lead in ending the game 21-18, and in the second game, most of the time Gao Fangjie had the advantage. When the game was about to end 19-16, who knew that the host was naturally the host, and at the critical moment when it was only two points away from defeat, it began to show its skills and forced the score to 21-19. It's a shame that I didn't win the second game. Who knows that surprises are always left at the end, in the decisive game, Gao Fangjie suddenly called, and beat Intanon to only parry, without the power to fight back, ending the game 21-14, a bit surprising, but more of a surprise. It's really not easy, congratulations to Gao Fangjie!
4. Han Yue 2-1 Charliha 21-15, 12-21, 21-12
As the top seed, Han Yue has a complete advantage in terms of strength, and this advantage has also been translated into the match. Facing Charliha, who is ranked 51st in the world, Han Yue did not give the opponent too many chances, and quickly entered the state in the first game, kept suppressing the opponent's play, and soon won 21-15. Who knew that in the second game, the opponent suddenly felt a big increase in his hand, and he caught Han Yue off guard. The opponent easily won the second game 21-12, which was quite a surprise. Fortunately, in the third game, Han Yue adjusted her mentality in time, played steadily, and hit the opponent until she broke the defense, and pulled back the tiebreaker with the same 21-12. The big score won 2-1. Fortunately, it was not upset.
5. Wang Zhiyi 2-0 Tan Lianni
Tan Lianni, a European player, ranked 49th in the world, and Wang Zhiyi, ranked 8th in the world, are the second seeds in this tournament, and Han Yue are in the upper and lower halves respectively. These two sides are not opponents at the same level, and there is no confrontation in the game. In the two games, Wang Zhiyi did not give her opponent too many chances. In the first game, although the two sides played back and forth at the beginning, Wang Zhiyi quickly pulled the score away and took the lead in winning the first game 21-12. In the second game, the opponent obviously lost his spirit and lost his fighting spirit early, and Wang Zhiyi quickly ended the second game 21-9.
Congratulations to Lu Guangzu, Han Yue, Wang Zhiyi, and Gao Fangjie for advancing to the 1/4 finals, and I wish Guoyu good results tomorrow!
